Backup Camera-Help Needed

[Mmdt101]

I’m attempting to install a backup camera in my 2011 30i connected to an Android unit. The camera I installed (between the license plate lights) is pointed too far to the ground. I tried to shim the rear of it, but still unable to obtain a good angle. Has anyone installed a backup camera that has a good angle? If so, would you mind sharing where purchased. Would an oem camera connect to the Android? If so, a part number would be helpful.

I appreciate any help!!

I understand that is the common issue with most E89 reversing cameras…

There was never an OE version for the E89.

I fitted one of these, which have an adjustable camera

Search for “simplecarguy z4” on youtube.

He posts on here sometimes, and has a video about fitting reverse cameras on his channel.

I fitted a rear number plate with camera which is ok and gives a better angle
